When the series "A New Dawn? A Kentucky Mother's Struggle Through Drug Court" is published starting this coming Sunday in the Lexington Herald-Leader, and as it goes live on the newspaper's Web site as a multimedia package, it will represent four years of work by photojournalist and NPPA member David Stephenson and reporter Mary Meehan as they followed a drug addict's struggle to get clean after she was sentenced to treatment - not prison time - in drug court.

This series looks terribly interesting and intense. Being just across the state in Louisville I won't have any issue finding the hard copy of the paper but I can't wait to see the multimedia package as well. This past year seemed to have been full of stories where photojournalist did or were accused of doing wrong (deceptive practices in photo manipulation, etc) it's a treat to be reminded (though we shouldn't have forgotten) that great, important photojournalism is out there.
